Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
353 PM EST Sun Dec 11 2016

.NEAR TERM...(Tonight)
Issued at 344 PM EST Sun Dec 11 2016

...Widespread snow winds down tonight...

High Impact Weather Potential...Accumulating snow will continue into
this evening.

Pattern Synopsis/Forecast...Surface low will travel from near the
WI/IL border to eastern Lake Huron by Monday morning. Meanwhile a
strong shortwave/vort max will cut across northern Wisconsin and
Michigan, supporting a cyclonic circulation over northern Lake
Michigan that will lead to lake enhanced snow bands late tonight.

Primary Forecast Concerns...Widespread light snow will be ongoing
into early evening across northern Michigan as weakening isentropic
and frontogenetic lift continue but become more diffuse. DGZ depth
will be shrinking as we head into the late afternoon and evening
with the best omega found further aloft. So, expect snowfall rates
to continue diminishing over the next several hours with just a few
lingering pockets of more moderate snowfall. As the surface low
lifts towards northern MI this evening, models show the snow
tapering off first across northern Lower. Moisture currently over
southern WI and northern IL will continue to stream generally
northeastward, placing our southeastern counties under the remaining
snowfall from this event for the longest duration. This will lead to
perhaps another 2-3 inches near Saginaw Bay before the snow finally
winds down there. Elsewhere expect generally another inch or two
through this evening, though locally higher amounts from lake
enhancement are likely across eastern Chippewa County.

The snow will clear out of our eastern counties early Monday morning
as the cold front sweeps eastward. However, a potent shortwave
clipping the Upper Great Lakes will support the development of a
compact surface low over northern Lake Michigan after midnight. Both
synoptic and hi-res models show this, though the hi-res models
obviously capture potential lake enhanced snow bands in better
detail. The NMM, ARW, and HRRR all show the bands coming ashore
between Leelanau and Manistee counties between 06-12Z Monday, but
they should be fairly narrow and orient themselves parallel to the
coast as they wrap around the low. Thus, not expecting them to
produce prolonged snowfall for any particular location.

Will be trimming back the Winter Weather Advisory to 09Z Monday as
the bulk of the accumulating snow will be winding down and moving
out of the area early Monday.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Monday through Wednesday)
Issued at 344 PM EST Sun Dec 11 2016

...Arctic Air Arrives Midweek...

High Impact Weather Potential: Burst of snow and gusty winds
possible with arctic boundary Monday night into Tuesday morning.
More lake snows in the traditional snow belts Wednesday.

Pattern Synopsis/Forecast: Current snow-producing system will exit
quickly stage right Monday morning, with all attention then directed
toward deep troughing/attendant very cold core temperature anomolies
dropping south across northern Canada (-20F surface temperatures!).
This troughing will continue to dig southeast over the coming days,
the core of which passes across northern Ontario during the day
Wednesday. Attendant arctic front crosses the northern Lakes early
Tuesday, with bitter cold air quickly to follow it for the midweek
period.

Primary forecast concerns: Plenty! Addressing lingering lake
enhanced snow concerns Monday, lake enhanced snow potential Monday
night into Tuesday morning, and downward temperature trends and
additional lake snows into Wednesday.

Details: Lingering lake effect Monday in those traditional snow belt
locations as vort max and brief surge of cooler air follow departing
system. Attention then turns to rapidly approaching arctic front
Monday night. Multiple forecast issues with this front, with initial
focus on brief window of southwest flow lake enhancement impacting
areas of far northwest lower and up into the Straits region. Time of
favorable wind direction is a short one, but strong forcing tied to
frontal passage and good moisture profiles support at least a window
of some very impressive snowfall rates. Front passes quickly Tuesday
morning, with gusty west winds in its wake. These winds will usher
in a progressively colder airmass, with temperatures likely falling
through the teens during the afternoon (wind chill values several
degrees colder!). Simple magnitude of caa will likely result in some
lake snows in favored areas, although aggressive drying and limited
inversion heights should keep snow intensity in check. However, even
with limited new snow, those gusty winds will likely result in
plenty of blowing and drifting and some treacherous driving
conditions. West flow lake effect continues Tuesday night and
Wednesday, likely steadily increasing in organization and intensity
as synoptic moisture contribution increases. While upstream
temperatures look cold enough to keep fluff producing DGZ near the
surface, would expect lake modification to be extreme, likely
"warming" the profiles enough to place the DGZ within the convective
cloud layer. This, combined with simple persistence of the wind
direction, will likely result in several inches of snow across
northwest lower and for areas near Whitefish Point/Paradise up in
eastern upper Michigan. Add in those gusty west winds, and may see
some whiteout conditions in open exposed areas. Perhaps bigger story
will be the temperatures, with highs struggling into the lower teens
away from the big waters and wind chill values several degrees below
zero. Can definitely see the need for some winter type headlines as
this period draws near. Will continue to use our latest hazardous
weather products as avenues to express this potential high impact
period of weather.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Sunday)
Issued at 344 PM EST Sun Dec 11 2016

A very active and wintry pattern to continue across the Great
Lakes through the period. At upper levels, a sharp 500mb trough
over the region Thursday will exit east Friday, before a second
500mb trough digs into the the northern Plains and Great Lakes for
the weekend. 850mb temps in this pattern will be between -20c and
-24c...warming only briefing to around -10c Friday in advance of
approaching second 500mb trough. This will keep afternoon highs
well below normal, in the teens, through hte period. Periods of
snow will continue across northern Michigan through the
period...as a storm system exits east Thursday while a second
system pushes across the Great Lakes during the weekend.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon)
Issued at 114 PM EST Sun Dec 11 2016

Widespread snow will continue across northern MI this afternoon
with prevailing IFR visibilities. Occasional bursts of more
moderate snowfall are possible with LIFR visibilities. The snow
will taper off across northern Lower early this evening, clearing
out of KTVC and KMBL late this evening, and eventually pushing
east of KAPN late tonight. Also late tonight into Monday morning
will come the potential for some lake enhanced snow showers that
could impact KTVC and KMBL, but confidence in where these set up
is not very high. As a surface low moves from WI into northern MI
late tonight into Monday morning, prevailing SE winds will shift
to the WNW. Wind gusts will pick up late in the TAF period with
gusts to around 18 knots possible.

.MARINE...
Issued at 344 PM EST Sun Dec 11 2016

Gusty southeast winds become west and increase in speed later
tonight into Monday as low pressure crosses the region. SCA
conditions will be experienced on some nearshore waters.
Conditions only worsen Tuesday night through Thursday as very
gusty west to northwest winds spread across all the big waters.
Gale conditions are looking increasingly likely during this
period.
